Discretion is advised.  Today's Scott Fox After 9 tackles one of the most disturbing and difficult stories in recent memory. The first half of the episode is built around Scott's deep dive into the newly released Epstein files — documents many people are talking about, but few are willing to read. Some of the material is deeply unsettling. Scott walks listeners through what stands out, why it matters, and asks the most important question of all: why haven't charges been laid? You'll hear audio from Bill Gates, Melinda Gates, and others connected to the story, along with the voices of victims. Scott presents this carefully and responsibly, offering context, clarity, and humanity for listeners who want to understand the issue without being overwhelmed by the raw documents themselves. Scott also addresses the growing swirl of conspiracy theories surrounding the case — from reptilian elites to claims about political body doubles — separating fact from fiction while explaining why these theories take hold in moments like this. It's an honest, grounded conversation designed to inform, not inflame, and to help listeners think critically about what they're hearing online. In part two, the focus shifts to Canadian politics. Hear highlights from Prime Minister Mark Carney's remarks in Ottawa as he introduces former Prime Minister Stephen Harper, followed by news of Conservative MP Jamil Jivani announcing his upcoming trip to Washington to negotiate a trade deal with the United States. It's a wide-ranging episode that moves from hard truths to real-world politics — exactly what After 9 does best.
